Students for Life Action National Field Director Katie Lodjic called on Macalester College, a Christian university in Minnesota, to “follow through on the stated values of the school and remove the nation’s number one abortion vendor Planned Parenthood from its website. Refusing to provide life-affirming resources and opportunity in favor abortion is a moral and a policy failure.” In multiple links at their website, the Christian college encourages students to intern or visit Planned Parenthood. When asked to remove the abortion advocacy, Kelly Stone, the chaplain of the university both refused and expressed support for abortion.
Lodjic continued: “Christian universities should prioritize their Christian identity ahead of what they perceive to be politically or culturally popular. Instead, Macalester College has taken the position that promoting abortion and encouraging women to have abortions is more important than following through with love and support for the least of these and is failing to teach students about the Christian belief that all human life has value and dignity from the moment of conception.”
On Wednesday, May 27th, Lodjic sent a letter to the university asking it to remove multiple links on its website that promoted Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood is listed at least six times on the website, including three internship opportunities and three times as a resource guide.
In reply, Stone wrote: “Reproductive freedom is a value deeply held by a significant number of christian [sic] communities. Reproductive freedom, in the event that you are not familiar, is the ability to control one’s own body, one’s own life and how one chooses to live out reproductive choices. These are human values that are critical for our global family. Your organization, Students for Life has an agenda. I’d like to take a moment to remind you that this is not the agenda of all Christians. To claim this issue as a litmus test of faith fails to honor the fullness of the human experience and Cristian [sic] tradition. Macalester is a community that values reproductive freedom. We value women. We value choice.

Organized religion in the USA and Europe has been hijacked by marxists. The end isn’t near, it’s here.
They should keep the child and abort the host.
Disgusting
No.
Christ (should) control my life, Christ controls my choices and Christ controls my freedom.
If I choose to do other than what Christ wants, that is sin.
That is what being a Christian means.
KATIE is an ANTI GOD she devil.
MOTHERS have KILLED 60 MILLION of their BABIES...we are OVER.
The greatest profile of a serial killer by far, is a repeat abortionist 20 something year old. Her victims? Her very own children. Sick.
Presbyterian — enuf said.
Macalester hasn’t been Christian for decades. It’s been fruit loops since the ‘80s at least.
When did Macalester become Christian? News to me.
the ability to control one’s own body, one’s own life and how one chooses to live out ....

180 degrees from Dying to Self.
Has a kind of wacked-out crazy look to the page. No thanks. I’d recommend a good verse by verse commentary on Revelation instead of craziness.
You beat me to posting the same message!
Macalester was very “liberal” back in the 60’s, almost as left-leaning as the U of M.
I used to stop at the Dunn Bros coffee at Snelling & Grand. Jammed full of Macalester hippies. I’m not sure Macalester even allows practicing Christians there.
False title. It’s Presbyterian. Definitely not, never has been, never will be, Christian.
“Macalester hasn’t been Christian for decades. It’s been fruit loops since the ‘80s at least.”
Exactly.
I only wish that the looting that took place in the Midway area of St Paul had worked it way down to that area.
